Law Library

The Rinker Law Library currently contains over 293,000 volumes, including books, microforms, audio visual materials and serials. The collection has grown rapidly to support the needs of an ABA approved institution and its curriculum, and boasts all the basic research materials for American law, including primary materials for the United States and territories, and a large treatise collection which are under constant development to support the research needs of the faculty and students.

This modern, three-story facility features seating for about 300 users with access to the Internet and to many electronic research databases. The library is open over 100 hours per week. The reference desk is staffed by lawyer/librarians who also provide instructional programs in legal research. There is a large microform collection, 10 study rooms and a comfortable reading room.
